Arsenal 3City 0

Arsenal comfortably denied City a fifth FA Community Shield at Wembley.

Two first half goals from Santi Cazorla and Aaron Ramsey gave a dominant Gunners side a winning platform and though the Premier League champions improved after the break, the trophy didn’t have far to travel home to North London.

Olivier Giroud made it 3-0 in the 61st minute from long range, strangling any thoughts of a dramatic City comeback. That’s how the score remained.

The FA Community Shield (nee Charity Shield) has a long history stretching back more than a century and has come to be synonymous with all kinds of diverse football opinion.
